Home Work Unavoidable for Women Economic Situation Makes Careers Impossible for Most Wives. BY EVELYN SEELEY linn Hfrriil Writer YORK. Dec. 6.—“ Why not abolish the women's page?” Mrs. Charles Sabin said. “I’m tired of this differentiation of men's and women's interests.” Her brown eyes flashed. Her chestnut hair, whitening at the brows, was soft about her face. Her chiseled features are as delicate and pert as when she was a girl. She looked suave and slender in her black besequined evening costume. Mrs. Sabin had Just been awarded by the American Women's Association (Anne Morgan, president) the medal for eminent attainment as the woman "who has most distinguished herself through her achievements the last year.’’ The eighth annual Friendship dinner of some fifty clubs was closing at the Hotel Roosevelt. Career women by the hundred, with names as bright and shining as their rhinestones, milled about. We dodged swishing trains and encountered Anne Morgan, strong and dominant in her rose-red satin. She Joined the battle. "You women’s page writers haven't a leg to stand on!” she declared. "All you write about,” said Mrs. Sabin, "are recipes, school curricula, fashions, health, billboards or perhaps the place of Eugene O'Neill in the hierarchy of dramatists or Edna St. Vincent-Millay in the realm of poetry.” Career Women Few But you are not facing facts, Mrs. Sabin. You do not see beyond your own group. You career women, to w hom the subjects usually discussed on women’s pages are uninteresting, are only a drop in the bucket. You w ho can afford to hire people to look \after food, children, health, education, are only a molecule in the whole world of women. Probably three-fourths of the women of America must be concerned with these special women’s interests—must be, whether they want to or not. Some of them are content. But those who are not content can not go out and get jobs and employ someone to run their homes, because there are no jobs. There is nothing belittling about this domestic preoccupation. It is a job, often a superior one—to many women a fascinating one. Cooking is a fine, creative art. Children can draw on every facet of experience and thought. Schools are limitless in interest. Being a housewife is a good job. If you like it. If you don't you should be able to go out and earn the price of someone who does. Buts unfortunately. at present it doesn't work that way. Aid to Majority This is not a "back-to-the-kitchen” movement, Mrs. Sabin. It is mere economics. Since it so happens that most women run their own homes, why deprive them of timely help and encouragement? Newspapers do not consider for a moment that the interest of women readers stops with the topics discussed on special pages. "How often do we read.” Mrs. Sabin challenged finally, “of women's organizations actively giving their support to a national issue such as fiscal policies, farm relief or the protection of citizens’ rights?” The answer is that when women deal with these matters they do so as members of organizations which embrace men as well as women. Moreover, what has that to do with printing pages of special interest to women? You might as well argue for abolition of sports pages because not all men are interested in sports.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Ann Hollister, pretty and 20. fines work in a library. She falls in love with Tony Mickle, commercial artist., although warned against him by Sarah Kent, her roommate. Later she meets Peter Kendall, wealthy and prominent, who is engaged to Valeria Bennett, society girl. Valeria spend much of her time with a gay crowd without Peter knowing about it. Tony asks Ann to marrying him and she agrees. Although Tony has promised to •'settle down” and save money so they can be married he does not do this. Sarah becomes engaged to John MacDonald and displays an engagement ring Tony promises Ann a ring for a Christmas gift but on Christmas Eve whe Ann and Sarah prepare a festive dinner party he fails to appear. Ann learns next day that he spent the night at a drinking party. Heartsick sne tells him everything is over between them. In a restaurant Ann sees Peter Kendell. also disillusioned because he has learned how Valeria has deceived him. They discuss their mutual unhappiness. Peter asks Ann to marry him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ELEVEN (Continued) “I wish they were,” she said. "I’d like to go to the end of the world.” Peter paid the bill, took Ann by the arm and led her out to his big roadster. "Let’s drive around the park,” he said, tucking a warm rug about her. “The park? All right,” Ann agreed without enthusiasm. He wished Ann could go away. He would like to see the color come back to her cheeks and serenity to her stormy eyes. She was very different from the happy girl who had talked with him that day last summer. Suddenly Peter stopped the car, said something strange and fascinating. “Ann, marry me tonight and you can go with me.” CHAPTER TWELVE ANN stared at Peter Kendall and repeated the words. “Marry you?” “Yes,” Peter said. "I couldn’t. Are you crazy?” “No. I like you a lot. We’re both unhappy and lonely. If you’ll marry me we can go away together. After while if you want to, you can get a divorce. “And what about you?” “It wouldn’t be hard to care for you, Ann.” But there was no lifting of the shadows in his eyes. “It’s awfully kind and generous of you,” Ann said gently, “but I couldn't because —you see there. isn’t any chance that I’ll get over the way I feel about—some one else.” When they were almost in front of Sarah's apartment Ann Recognized Tony’s roadster. She saw Tony—his hat pulled down low over his eyes—walking toward the car. Ann fought the impulse to cry out to him. Oh, she was weak as water where Tony was concerned! “Please drive on,” she said breathlessly. “I’ve changed my mind. I’ll marry you if you want me to.” Peter drove rapidly. Behind them Ann heard the familiar sputter of Tony's motor. It grew fainter as they raced on. “We’ll get a license and then find a minister.” “The license bureau is closed,” Ann said. “There are ways,” Peter told her. There were ways, as Ann learned. A sleepy clerk, routed from bed, was angry at first. Then, through some magic of Peter's, he turned into a smiling, eager-to-please individual. With the license forthcoming. Peter and Ann sought a minister. They stepped out of the parsonage into a world turning whiter under a driving snow. A queer, remote, cold world under its blanket of snow. All part of this strange, unbelievable drama.

"Ladies of the Jury” will be presented by the Senior class ’ of Tudor Hall School at 8:15 Saturday night in the school auditorium. Miss Jane Zimmer is a member of the cast.

Ann was Mrs. Peter Kendall. She glanced down at her hand which Peter had held as he murmured the responses. Under her glove the other hand was ringless still—the hand that should have been wearing Tony’s diamond. She was married, but not to Tony. To Peter Kendall whom she had seen only three times in her life. Because Peter was miserable and generous. On an impulse, she stretched out her hand to him. Peter covered it for a moment with his strong, big one. “You’re running a big risk,” she said. “For all you know, I may be a perfect devil.” a u u Peter, guiding the car through the drifts of snow, said, “You look more like a little angel.” Ann thought of what Tony had said. “Ann’s for ‘Angelic’.” She must not let herself think of that. “Do you really want to run away Peter? Because if you don’t we’ll stay.” He answered slowiy, ,Tm working on something now that I’d like to finish. It’s a big job and will mean a great deal to me. Id hate for anything to go wrong.” "Then we’ll stay.” "No.” "How much time could you spare without making any real difference?’ “Two or three weeks.” “Let’s go to Florida for two or three weeks,” Ann suggested. “And then come—come home.” Peter objected. “But good heavens, Ann. You married me to get away—” “Yes. But after all, there’s no reason to mess things up for you. I guess we won’t run away, Peter. I think I’d rather stay, if you don’t mind. Later, after you have finished the work, we could have the trip." Peter thought that it was strange for Ann to be suggesting Florida, working out the problem as he had asked Valeria to do. Peter argued with Ann. But Ann, knowing now that he had no business to be running away to the far ends of the world, argued even better. Presently, he was telling her about the place.he had bought on the Florida coast during the boom days. You drove through a deep wilderness to get there. And came at last to his small place, curiously called World’s End. He had named it that because the beautiful small lake curved about it. If Ann preferred they could go to Palm Beach or Miami instead of the lonely little retreat in the Florida woods. “No,’’ Ann told him. “I said I wanted to go to the end of the world. Peter, and that’s where we’re going.” “It isn’t as though we’ll be cut off from civilization,” Peter said. “We can drive to Orlando and Tampa and St. Petersburg.” u u SARAH opened the door when they arrived at the apartment. “Hello, Ann.” She stared in amazement at Peter and acknowledged the introduction stiffly. “Pleased to know you,” Sarah said, realizing how “countrified” the words sounded. It was awful, dropping into small-town ways whenever she was agitated. And caught like this, her face as shiny as a kitchen pan, and wearing an old rag of a house dress. "Come in,” Sarah said, “only give me a little time for a running start—” A moment later Ann followed Sarah into her room. Sarah had flopped down in a chair. "Ann! Where’s Tony? Where did you pick up Peter Kendall?” “I’ve just married Peter. Will you help me pack some things? We’re going to Florida tonight.” Sarah, staring at Ann’s white face and shadowed eyes, said quietly. “A*e you ill? You'd better lie down—” “I’m not crazy. I'm really married.” Ann laughed queerly. Sarah's eyes widened. “Are you telling me the truth? What happened? How did—oh. heavens, tell me something quick!” Ann began her story. And after a little Sarah was piecing it together, wisely fitting in things whicn Ann was loyally withholding. Ann had married Petar because she had had a terrible quarrel with Tony and Valeria had hurt Peter. What a strange, mad thing to do. "We’ll have to hurry.” Ann said. “Peter said he would be back in an hour." They tumbled traveling bags from the closet. Sarah wiped them off carefully, keeping up a running conversation. trying to seem cheerful. She was dazed. Surely, this was a dream. Presently she would opeu sleepy eyes and say, “Ann, I had the most ridiculous dream last night. X thought you walked in and calmly

University Women to Discuss State School Report

Miss Jenna Birks will lead discussion following study of the report of the Governor’s Commission on the Indiana School Situation at 7 tomorow night at the Rauh Memorial Library. The meeting is one ofcthe regular session of the legislation study group of the Indianapolis branch of the American Association of University Women. Other sections of the association announced you were married to Peter Kendall.” “Ann,” said Sarah, “do you realize Peter Kendall has been considered the most eligible bachelor in town? Think of all the jealous mammas who’ll read about this tomorrow and wish their little girls were in your shoes. Think of Valeria Bennett. It’s a good thing you’re leaving town for a while ” non ANN wasn’t thinking of Valeria. She was thinking of Tony. ’T've done it,” she told herself dully, an ache in her heart. “I’ve done it.” Ann's things, very simple but dainty, were packed neatly. Sarah, folding the plain little silk garments, said generously, "I have some things I want you to have. I’ll have plenty of time to get more before Mac and I step off.” Ann shook her head. “It’s awfully sweet of you, but what I have will do.” Sarah stared, perplexed. After a moment Ann said, “I can get some pretty clothes later.” “Sure,” said Sarah. “You can buy out Lhe shops—later. But that won’t be now. Look here, Ann. Peter’s a darned attractive man. You'll be absolutely crazy if you don't put Tony out of your mind.” Ann did not reply. With the packing finished, she sat in a big chair, looking very small, very weary and sad. She was wearing a blue suite, a white ruffled blouse and a small blue hat, fitting close to her bronze hair. The telephone rang. Sarah said nervously, Peter. You'd better go.” Ann whisypered, “It’s Tony. You go.” It was Tony. Ann heard Sarah saying “Yes, Ann is here. Tony. No, you can’t see her tonight. If you come, you can’t get in.” There was silence for a moment. Then. “You mustn’t come. I tell you she can’t see you.” Sarah hung up the telephone and turned to Ann. “I couldn’t do a thing with him. He says he’s coming right out. He said he'd break down the door if I didn’t open it. And he will.” “It won't matter anyway,” Ann said slowly. The doorbell rang. “Goodness. I hope it’s Pfter” Sarah exclaimed. “Let him in while I get your bags locked. And please hurry and get away from here. I don't want murder in my apartment.” (To Be Continued)

Home Baked Bread Made With Fruit Recipes Given for Foods Rarely Obtainable in Stores. BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer What single dish can add more substantial enjoyment to a meal than home-made bread? I don't mean the common everyday variety of white bread—by any means—it is fruit and nut breads and muffins and gems, something new and delectable for every meal of the day, that you can't buy in the store except on very rare occasions to which I refer. The wide selection of flours and meals available makes it possible to vary the bread for nearly every meal. With thus in mind, I have collected recipes from many sources during the summer months and can promise you each will win the praise of the family and guests. Three cups corn meal, 2 cups rye flour, 1 teaspoon soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 cup seeded raisins, -" 4 cup molasses, 2 cups sour milk or buttermilk, 4 tablespoons melted shortening, u cup water. Mix cornmeal, rye flour and salt and baking powder. Add raisins and mix thoroughly. Add molasses, melted shortening and milk. Mix slightly and add water with soda dissolved in it.
